Thirteen years after losing to Abner Mares, Joseph Agbeko believes he shouldn’t have taken the rematch.

Agbeko was on the receiving end of two questionable knockdown calls, which was the difference in a 113-113, 115-111 and 115-111 majority decision for Mares.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

The IBF has ordered Jaron Ennis to defend his IBF Welterweight Title against Karen Chukhadzhian. Ennis defended his belt for the first time with a sixth-round stoppage win against David Avanesyan in his last fight. It was Ennis’ first fight under Matchroom Boxing, as he announced his homecoming in style. After beating Avanesyan, Boots expressed his desire to fight Crawford. That would mean moving up to 154 pounds to target Bud’s WBA belt, which he acquired with a win over Israil Madrimov.
